Welcome. If you’re new, here’s a quick overview, and some core concepts readers will want to be familiar with.
As I wrote here, if you work on making a business better - this is for you. In practice, the audience that can best apply these learnings will tend to be corporate managers, new or self-taught managers including founders, team leads, senior specialist staff, and consultants.
I collect foundational ideas - the building blocks I turn to time and again - and case studies where I apply them:
I generally assume you’re familiar with basic business ideas like alignment, siloing, activity vs output, and financial concepts like earnings and cashflow, what a balance sheet is, the concept of a moat, and so on.
Here are the more specialised ideas – the “building blocks” of this newsletter.

Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy Building In Public.
